Looks like Isabel has decided to visit beautiful Wilmington, N.C. I hope the storm lessens before land fall. Wilmington has seen it’s fair share of major storms… Dub, Sally et al. our prayers are with you. It looks like we will only catch some of the effects of the very edge of the system– high winds and heavy surf. Luckily our building is far enough in from the estuary and about 15’ about sea level so all we should have to worry about is the wind. Most of the smaller boats have been secured and all floating docks and piers have been pulled out. Just in case. They are predicting 40–50mph winds late tonight and tomorrow with slightly higher gusts.
